Rockland County District Attorney Thomas Walsh has been reelected for a second term.

Walsh, who ran unopposed, faced an unexpected challenge from former Assistant District Attorney Theresa DiFalco, who waged a write-in campaign.

DiFalco's campaign was fueled by anger over a plea deal given to two individuals involved in a fatal fire, which resulted in no jail time.

These election results mark a series of historic moments in local politics, underscoring the importance of diverse representation and accountability in leadership.
